[BUG] Game Launcher

    Whenever there is a new patch/update for PS2 my launcher keeps shutting itself down during the update. I have to keep restarting it until it's managed to do the update. Tried running the launcher in both admin mode and not, with or without my anti-virus running and it still does it not matter what.

    Even tried re-installing the game twice and numerous validity checks and still no joy in solving it.

    I'm at the point where i dread BIG updates as it takes ages to even download it with this bug....

    There's a fix for other games with launcher problems. Not sure it will work here, but worth a shot.


    1. Right click the shortcut you use to launch the game and select properties
    2. In the target, at the very end of the string, add this: -http=wininet

    This allows the application to acces HTTP protocols.

    Same here as well! I had to open the launcher several dozen times to complete the patch/update today.

    Can't find a "target" in the steam launcher and if I add the line to the set launch option in Steam it makes no difference. Taken around 20 restarts and I still haven't finished the download.

    Why has this still not been fixed?

    Still not fixed I see :(

    ANY chance this bug is going to get fixed ? About to give up on the game due to massive problems trying to do any updates....
  10. Zeewulf

    Doubt it, been a issue since punk buster was added last year.

    Yeah, it's one of the reasons why I don't play anymore. Way too much hassle to just even update the game let alone play it.

    When are Daybreak going to get round to fixing the launcher bug that keeps shutting itself down during patches. It's been ongoing FOR AGES !!!!
